88 Fiero Formula Performance Tires (Page 2/2)

I used to use Falken tires on all my vehicles. They stick like glue.
Same vendor has both tire sizes with the "H" rating.
You'll be way below your $350 budget.

Set of 2
205/60/15
$123 for the pair

Protip: Tread wear rating and grip have an inverse relationship.

Thanks for the info so far guys! Has anyone used those Ohtsu FP7000 tires before? Those are the ones I've settled on at this point actually. Plan on putting more expensive tires on the car eventually, right now I just want a new set of decent handling tires while I work on the car.

Yep, treadwear doesn't bother me at all. This car will be spring/summer driver only, and I only put about 8,000 or so miles on my truck per year driving it year round. Looking at 4,000 miles on the car a year, give or take a few if I use it to go on a trip.

For those that haven't seen it yet, here is the Fiero I'm picking up, hopefully on the 5th if all goes well. This will be my first Fiero, I'm formerly a 3rd Gen TA guy. After selling my 86 going on two years ago, I've had that sports car itch and want something more for spirited corner taking. Being a Pontiac guy, I obviously settled in on a Fiero. This isn't my first foray into the world of Fieros though, my dad is one of the dudes that used to cut up 2M4s and turn them into trikes back in the early 2000s (I still cry when I think about it).

I believe you asked for wheels in larger sizes that are similar to the Formula wheels....Here are three possibilities;


Konig Lace, 16 x 7, 17 lbs


Maxxim Chance, 16 x 7, 17 lbs


ASA AR1, 16 x 7, 19 lbs

I used Falken tires for many years on my cars and trucks. Their line of tires is actually very good. As I remember, they are a softer tire so they last around 5-6k miles less than most other tires but I would rather see you pay very little now to get the car on the road while saving for more expensive tires later.

I've run Ohtsu and Falkan, I liked both brands ( they are actually the same tire carcasses with different sidewall molding).

I would buy them again.

Hey guys! Forgot to report that I ordered set of the Ohtsu FP7000 tires. I will be sure to report in on how the car handles with them!

Hoping to have all the issues with the car worked out over the extended weekend (we'll see, picking the car up on Saturday), and then going to get it registered and drive it around on Tuesday. I'll report in then, because I'm taking all day to just gas up and learn this car inside and out.

Only wrench in that gear may be, I ordered the tires from Walmart (Paid $230 for the full set) on Sunday. They were supposed to be here by Friday. Well FedEx naturally screwed something up, so ONE of them is now "possibly arriving end of day Tuesday". That may keep me from getting out with it on Tuesday, at least extensively.

All that dependent of course on whether or not I can get it running by then.
